To a/ZZ whom t may concern/i Be it known that we, WILLIAM PEnRY'and WILLIAM PIERPOINT, Jr., citlzens of the United States, residing atx Yonkers, in-the.

county of 7Vestcl iestery and State of New York, have -invented certaiirnew and use ul Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles; and We do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,v and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexedy drawin ,making a part of this s ecication," and tot e letters of reference mar ed thereon. 'The present invention has for its objectto provide a non-refillable. bottle'in which the allvalve'willv readily nd its seatv to close or openthe mouth of the bottlewhen the same is lan upright positionor tipped to' our out the contents, respectivel and' to ren er it impossible to reiill the bott e When in-an upright dotted lines to-s position; and the invention consists in a bottlegconstructed `substantially as shown "in the drawing, and hereinafter described and claimed.- f

In the Iaccompanying drawing', which repfresents a sectional'elevation of a portion of a' bottle showinlg1 the ball-valve in full and ow'the two positions thereof, A designates the body 'ofthe bottle and B an upwardly and outwardly Haring cham- `ber lin which 1s' located the ball-valve C, of glass or other suitable material.v The upper portion of the chamber B is ofthe greater diameter and the chambercontr'acts or de-' l creases.` in diameter. as the chamber ap.- 35

proaches the body of thev bottle', thereby al1-Iva1ve,.0,and by a slight tippingof theper which has an vinwardly-extending guard cj integral' withv the neck of vthe bottle' to. prexfrent*v the valvefrom enteringth'e 'neckl and clos-- ing the opening therein.' A a `flhe neck d of the bottle is-provided-with the lusual,stopper e, of cork or other suitable materia'h '/the same as ordinary bottles, and

itis the ntention to mold theentire bottle inclined sidesgof the chamber B, .extendingl down `to the bod'yof, the bottle, .presents a suitable seat f for the ball-valve, thus securely closing the opening at the lower and contracted end of the chamber.

vention the essential feature thereof is to :chamber betweenv t provide an openin in the neck'of the' bottle that will be ofi s cient size-as to allow the." l free flow of therliquid into "the neck and at the same time provide meansthat. will prevent the ball-valve lenter-fing;the neck-open#- ing Withoutj'materiauy.marsans lthe @est j off manufacture of the bottle.

The under -face of this guard is substantially straight'to a point outward beyond .the line of the 'innerwall of the'neck, as shown, so

that the' ball-valve-will not be held thereun-v der to-'close the passage-.through the neck;
